Two completely different career paths. One is SaaS, one is media. Unless you’re talking about joining amazon’s ad tech team who I think basically sell their product on a SaaS model now.
Personally, I left advertising intentionally (used to work at Oracle) because of the limited career opportunities in ad/ad tech sales. SaaS/Cloud has endless opportunities that pay much better so I would choose Slack probably.
Google, FB, and Amazon take the majority of ad revenue. Outside of a few good independents (The Trade Desk, Liveramp, tiktok, etc.) it’s an unfair battle that isn’t worth competing for.
Oracle data cloud, for example, sells data and analytics products to advertisers that compete with products google offers for free.
I didn’t feel it was a wise career move to tie myself to one of three companies and wanted more opportunities. I also enjoy the SaaS sale much more than ads - sales at those three companies isn’t real sales. Low earnings ceiling and won’t learn valuable/transferable sales skills.
Amazon!
Slack doesn’t have an advertising product… owned by SFDC - tons of opportunities to move around in an established company. About 1M companies use Slack - not sure how many use Amazon’s ad products which are built mainly for Enterprise and mid market retail/CPG.
Amazon can definitely offer you more opportunities at the moment. Seems like Slack is still struggling in this area
